The Garden Club of the Back Bay is known for its beautiful holiday wreaths, but many other Garden Clubs throughout eastern Massachusetts hold greens sales in early December, where you may purchase swags, boughs, mistletoe and holly to further decorate your home. Not all Clubs have websites to check for details and directions, but we have included contact information below, so you may find the site most convenient to you. All proceeds go towards betterment projects in the communities served by the Clubs, so buying from them is an easy way to help beautify Massachusetts.
